Abstract
Teaching English to high school students requires innovative strategies to
enhance vocabulary acquisition, improve motivation, and prepare students for exams.
This paper explores effective teaching methods, including differentiated instruction,
interactive learning, and digital tools that cater to students' diverse learning styles. The
study analyzes various approaches that help students build confidence and develop
independent learning skills. By incorporating engaging activities, structured lesson
plans, and exam-focused techniques, educators can significantly improve students'
language proficiency. The findings suggest that a combination of traditional and
modern methodologies yields the best results in English language learning.
